NOZZLE FOR SYRINGES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 633,557, datedSeptember 26, 1899.

Application filed January 30, 1899. Serial No. 703,885. (No model.)

Tn (/,ZZ 'milf/mt it 7171/47/ concern:

Beit known that I, CHARLES L. AKERS, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State ofKentucky,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nozzlesfor Syringes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to nozzles for syringes.

The objectot' my invention is to provide two or more nozzles ofdifferent sizes, so that the syringe may be readily and convenientlyadapted for either vaginal or rectal use; and the invention consists ofthe construction herein described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating an embodiment of myinvention, Figure l is a longitudinal sectional view showing two nozzleswhen used together with the upper portion of an elastic bulb. Fig. 2 isa similar View showing the smaller nozzle used alone.

As shown in the drawings, the larger nozzle or shell a is ot` a roundedhollow formtapering from the bottom up and having a cornparatively smallopening b at its upper end and a straight cylindrical flange c at itslower end, over which the mouth of the elastic bulb is stretched. Thisnozzle or shell is of such dimension as to readily be inserted into thevagina and to somewhat distend the parts, so that the water or solutionmay efectually reach the parts to be treated. The smaller nozzle CZ ispreferably of a straight tapering form and of a diameter at its top toclosely and removably tit within the opening?? of the larger nozzle andpractically form a liquidl tight joint when placed together. The lowerend of the nozzle is provided with an enlarged and somewhat elongatedflange e, that fits snugly within the flange c of the larger nozzle. Thetaper ot' the smaller nozzle insures a perfectly tight joint at theopeningb ot' the larger nozzle, and the enlarged flange e aords a firmand secure connection between the nozzles and bulb. Besides the flangemay serve as a stopper or pad when the smaller nozzle is used alone.Both the nozzles will preferably be made of aluminium or some otherlight non-corrosive material.

It will readily be seen that when the two nozzles are used together thelarge space between the large and small nozzles will be closed, so thatnearly all the contents of the bulb may be ejected and applied withconsiderable force through the smaller nozzle and retained within theorgan.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-- A comparatively large hollow nozzle or shell a having a smallopening b at its upper end and a flange c at its lower end to enter themouth of a bulb, and a smaller tapering noz-v zle d having its upper endconstructed to closely and removably fit within the opening b and havingat its lower end an enlarged flange e to fit within the flange c of thelarger nozzle, substantially as shown and'described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
